Great Southern Bioblitz 2021: Day 1 Greater Adelaide

Wow-what a great day !
we started our weekend well with many observations and some interesting ones as well. I always like to see the fantastic observations by @anthonypaul like this Nucastia sp. seen here below

I had a slow start with some things coming up in the morning but i headed up to Belair in the afternoon and what a terrible time for birds, as it was overcast 🥺however the Orchids are still in flower and it was a fantastic day for moths I think I saw many new species here is a selection, i will not give any names as i am unsure.

We have seen some other fantastic observations like these below

A few last minute reminders and tips for the GSB over the next 4 days

1) Remember to charge your camera or phone and carry spare batteries, memory cards and a car charger if you have one.
2) Try to make observations every day even if it is common things in your backyard
3) Take multiple photographs for accurate ID and to ensure a clear frame
4) Please be respectful of the environment, take only photographs-leave only footprints
5) Please try your best not to interfere with wildlife, do not attempt to catch any vertebrate fauna including frogs and lizards (this is actually illegal without a permit)

I was at Belair yesterday, but the sun orchids are still reluctant to flower regardless of the sunny afternoon..
